           [402]

           JAMES PHILP, farmer, section 36, Verona Township, was born in
        Hope Township, Waterloo Co., Ont, Aug. 10, 1851. He is the son of
        THOMAS and ANN (MOON) PHILP, of Bingham Township. (See sketch.)
           At the age of 21 years he became a lumberman and spent some time
        in that employment. He afterwards bought a farm in Verona Township,
        which he sold a few years later and received 80 acres of the origi-
        nal family homestead. On this he has since operated and has placed
        the entire tract under the best quality of improvements. He is
        deserving of his good reputation as a skillful farmer.
           In political faith and action MR. PHILP is a Republican. He
        has been interested in school matters, and has officiated in the
        offices of his district.
           He was married May, 1875, to ANNA O'NEAL.  Of four children born
        to them, NORMAN and NETTIE are deceased; REBECCA and ALBERT are
        living.  MRS. PHILP was born in Ontario, in 1857, and is the
        daughter of JOHN and Rebecca O'NEAL, natives respectively of Ire-
        land and Scotland.  The family reside in Verona Township, where the
        father is a farmer and carpenter.  They are members of the Baptist
        Church.  MRS. PHILP is permanently lame from the effects of illness
        in 1881.
